Ogier wants to continue his momentum

After a difficult start to the season, Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia were able to taste the joys of the podium in Greece where they took a good second place. “ It is a reward for the efforts made since the start of the season », recognizes Ogier, who is not trying to get excited, however. “ We must show that we have our place in WRC. This second place in Greece feels good but it is not yet won. We must continue on the same path. »

Disputed around Mikołajki, the Rally is stopping off in Poland as part of the WRC for the first time since 1973. This event will therefore be new for the entire field. Ogier nevertheless has a slight advantage since he participated in the reconnaissance in 2008. “ This is one less disadvantage for us “, he says. “ The course is very fast on fairly loose ground. The surface risks deteriorating as competitors pass by. It will be a great event, like the Rally of Finland but without the bumps. The relief is less marked. It won't be an easy race but none in the World Rally Championship are easy. He continues.

Humble, the Citroën Junior Team driver is here above all to learn, he who is only competing in his first season in the WRC. “ Our goals do not change. We will keep the same strategy to always gain more experience and reach the finish line. We learned a lot in Greece and the goal is to do the same kind of race in Poland He concludes.
